President Obama will unveil his jobs bill this Thursday on national television. With unemployment hovering around 9 % for the last two years it begs the question, “Mr. President, what has taken you so long?” The reality is that the President does not need a jobs bill nor does he want true recovery! If he was sincere he would get out of the way and rescind the overburdening regulatory state he has created (see blog, “Rule by Fiat“). Unfortunately, he has no intention of doing so, as this would interfere with political paybacks to big labor, thereby hindering his 2012 re-election chances, as well as his desire to press his socialistic agenda.

Despite the fact that Obama publicly proclaims himself as pro-business and seems sincere with his favorable announcement this week rescinding the The Latest Job Killer From the EPA, it is yet another smokescreen to protect his big labor buddies’ cover up of the most damaging regulations in history quietly being thrust on employers and employees behind the scenes (see Obama Urges Independent Agencies To Shed Burdensome Rules and Obama Asks EPA to Pull Ozone Rule). In fact, NLRB president Wilma Liebman’s last two weeks in office were quite troublesome as the board overturned the Dana ruling allowing employees to petition for an election within 45 days after they were force-unionized through a Neutrality Agreement, and also overturned the UNICCO ruling concerning successor ship, which protects unions when companies are sold, and the Specialty Healthcare ruling which will allow unions to gerrymander employers by organizing only certain employees in a business. The Department of Labor (DOL), proposed a rule New Rule Proposed On Employers’ Use Of Union Consultants exempting big labor and its consultants/attorneys from the definition of employer so they are not required to report actions or contributions (see Union Bailout Update). These don’t even include a Plan to Ease Way for Unions through shortened elections and a proposal that Union Bosses Go After Property Holders, Businesses & Girl Scouts, which are still on the NLRB docket! If the President is sincere about easing government regulation on business, why not have his NLRB cronies rescind these regulations now?

The fact is that Obama faces an uphill battle to win a second term in 2012, which certainly is not possible without the support of big labor, hence the urgency for the NLRB to enact the plethora of rule/regulation changes it has promulgated since Becker was appointed. It is very simple; Obama needs big labor’s money and foot soldiers. The only way he can provide the Gasping Dinosaurs with the ammo to help him win in 2012 is to provide big labor the means to force-unionize employees rapidly. The ammo is union friendly NLRB rule/regulation changes that allow big labor to effectively and quickly prosecute corporate campaigns against employers to force them to capitulate and sign the coveted Neutrality Agreement, which enacts the card check scenario!

Through the filing of multiple claims of unfair labor practices (ULP’s) during corporate campaigns big labor can quickly wear down the target financially and psychologically, thereby forcing it to sign the Neutrality Agreement. Obviously, if the NLRB imposes more regulations, it provides big labor more areas to probe and file ULP’s against the target employer. As chronicled in The Devil at My Doorstep it is simply the proverbial game of throwing a multitude of spitballs against the wall knowing some will stick and the target will give up. Obama and big labor understand that most businesses cannot afford the heavy legal burden of defending themselves and that most cannot stand the perceived public embarrassment.

Now we have a perfect storm where the President is in jeopardy of not being elected for a second term and desperately needs the support of big labor to have any chance in 2012. The NLRB is determined to be Obama’s white knight and ride to the rescue to make sure that big labor has the tools it needs to achieve mass forced unionism of companies of all sizes so big labor has the money from dues available to re-elect its beloved President. Wake up Americans: Beware of Rogue NLRB!

You would think a President would care more about the future of his country than his own political aspirations and philosophical agendas. Please do the right thing, Mr. President, and dismiss the NLRB regulations as you did the EPA regulations this past week. Show America you care more about our future and American jobs and freedoms than your re-election! Unfortunately, President Obama will do none of this and instead will play the worn out blame game and “poor me” cards.
